SUMMARY:Artist in Residence for August
DESCRIPTION:Drop into The JB Fletcher Store Museum for our next exhibit with artist Elizabeth Augsten starting on August 23. Elizabeth will be on site Aug.31 and Sept. 1 demonstrating her process. \n“My work in acrylic is a melding of light and shadows from places either real or imagined\, presented in a loosely representational style. Featuring vibrant colors and often incorporating water\, my pieces are inspired by music and aim to capture the dynamic interplay between sound and visual experience. Through these abstracted landscapes\, I reflect the inherent beauty of the environment while evoking a sense of rhythm and emotion.”

SUMMARY:Emily Triggs performing at Bear Spring Eco Retreat
